'Faithfully' was the only misplaced word in what Obama said. It doesn't change the meaning or even the structure of the oath. This is much ado about nothing, and will be entertaining to see if any RWers waste their money on this endeavor. The irony is overwhelming. chimipy was appointed by 5 Justices in 2000. Election fraud was implemented to keep the illegitimate office in 2004.
And, they want to point to an adjective in a different spot of the Oath as illegitimacy? They are absurdists.
